"Are you seriously considering not going back to making weapons Tony? Stane looked quite disturbed at your decision. The press is having a field day with the news and even the shares of the company are at an all-time low. Obadiah even said that somebody recently has been buying your shares en masse and might try to take over the company." Pepper Potts asked Tony Stark with a concern visible on her face.
"Yep, it's final Pepper. And I won't change my decision for Stane or anybody else. As for share prices falling, that's what they do. They rise, fall, and rise again. And whoever has been buying the company's shares understands this. They know that I am worth more than the company's weapons business and so they have put their trust in ME, not the company. They won't take over the company and risk losing its biggest asset, me." Tony ended with a confident smile on his face.
"I hope you are right Tony, I really do. *Sigh* Anyway, I am going out now. So..."
"Wait, you are going out? Where are you going may I ask?"
"... To your welcome back party. But you can't attend it, Tony. You are in too much limelight now. You will have to lay down a bit for the next couple of days." Pepper said with worry in her voice.
"You know what. You are right. Besides, I have too much work to do. I can't go anywhere from my lab until I perfect my flight stabilizers." He said with a serious nod.
"Oh... okay. Best of luck with your experiments Tony, I'll be going then." Pepper bade him goodbye, wondering in her mind if it was really that easy to convince Tony, one of the most notorious playboys alive to not go to a party.
"Now let's focus on completing the repulsors Jarvis. We need to complete it within an hour. After all, I have a party to go to." Tony said with a small smirk on his lips.

<(Atem POV)>
"You know I normally enjoy parties quite a lot but what I don't enjoy are people keeping their noses high up in the air and behaving like absolute jackasses showing how much money they have at every turn. The last man I talked with mentioned his ten million dollar Rolex at least fifteen times in our five-minute conversation." I couldn't help but snort as I stood behind Selene, my trusted subordinate who was more or less my right hand.
She was wearing a black expensive-looking dress with a slit running across one of her legs displaying it partially. Her dress made her seem like a dark evil queen who was a filthy rich professional model showing enough skin to be considered hot but not enough to be a slut.
"Hahaha funny, especially if one considers that your net worth through all the investments of your Meta Enterprises over the years is more than all of them combined. How would you think they would react if they knew that you could probably ruin their companies with a single phone call?" Selene giggled as she leaned into me affectionately.
"Oh come on. You make me sound like some hidden Xinxia protagonist. I just keep my involvement with Meta Enterprises a secret because I don't like people pestering me with interviews and photos wherever I go. Even gods are afraid of the paparazzi you know." I joked with a laugh.
"Then you can't blame them for not knowing you. However, you can always take some petty revenge by taking over their companies and ruining their lives." Selene went into her sadistic villain mode as she tried to lure me back to the dark side.
A lot of people have actually heard of the name, Atem before as it was made quite famous during the mutant protests back in the late 90s when they started to protest for equal rights as humans, as well as when I took over Genosha from Magneto and established it as the first true metahuman country in the world of which I was the patron god of. But none have any idea of what I truly look like. Zoya is quite fast to take down any of my pics that ever surface in the internet making my identity unknowable by the ordinary people unless I allowed it. As for the press, well let's just say that I have developed a lot of influence on the present media with some strategic investments and acquisitions.
"Selene, I told you. That part of my life is over. I am no longer that petty, I have developed as a human being. I don't care what these inconsequential people say or do as long as they don't try to harm me or anyone close to me. But yes, you are right to think that they would not respect me if I wasn't someone important and that's why I have decided to introduce myself as your sugar baby." I finished with a straight face.
"... Wait what?" Selene stared at me like she was having trouble processing what I was saying.
"You heard me the first time. I always wanted to know how it would feel to be a sugar baby anyway. And this is my perfect chance." I smiled as I began to search for people to whom I could introduce myself with my newly chosen identity.
Selene was my first and oldest subordinate in the Marvel world, the one who had actually summoned me here by sacrificing the life force of thousands of people using her power and black magic to conquer the world with her as well as save all the metahumans. But as a proud gamer, I had instead 'conquered' her in just over a month with my amazing bed skills and my literal addicting pleasure-inducing touch.
Wait, now that I think about it, I conquered most of my initial harem members with the exception of Jean and Ororo with mostly hours of continuous mind-bending sex. Wow, I feel like some kind of hentai protagonist all of a sudden. Even in the present day, I have mini-orgies with my lovers almost daily. I guess all of them are addicted to sex with me now due to the mind-breaking pleasure that only I can provide even though our relationships have developed quite well both emotionally and physically.
Of course, I wasn't any better. I was just as addicted to them as they were to me since being a New god doesn't really make you immune from sexual needs. In fact, since I was a New god of the concept of Domination, I was actually even more inclined to stuff like 'conquering' other people. Yeah, my divinity does influence me, not as much as the other gods in different pantheons but it still did.
"By the way, where is Emma?" I asked as I suddenly noticed that I couldn't see her anywhere nearby. So, I even let loose my cosmic senses a little to try to determine where she was currently.
I normally liked to keep my cosmic senses turned off or kept at a minimum since I liked to enjoy life without my senses alerting me of everything happening within a hundred-mile range. Believe me, a rat shitting its guts out or a man giving a rim job to another man is not something you want to sense every time you eat or converse with someone.
"Emma saw one of her sisters here. They were having a conversation with each other about something, probably their father and brother. They didn't look friendly at all with each other, so if I had to guess where they are currently, I would say that they are arguing in private." Selene informed me as she drained the entire wine glass she was holding in her hands.
"Yeah, you are right," I said as I sensed her and her sister on the roof talking about their brother who was currently dating Bobby Drake also known as the Iceman. They seem to be having one of those family fights that break out when one of your family members has suddenly come out of the closet.
Whatever it was, I was not going to be a part of it. I had much better things to do than debating on LGBTQ issues and no, I do not care if there are supposed to be plus signs or whatever in there.
"Oh, it seems Tony is already here. You want to meet him?" Selene asked as we both noticed the billionaire genius talking with Obadiah Stane and Virginia 'Pepper' Potts who both looked like they would have preferred him to not have come to the party.
"I don't really have any particular goal in mind to consider talking with him. I already have the smartest person in the world on my payroll building me the first commercial spacecraft for unlocking the space mining and space tourism industries. As for his unique design of the arc reactor and his armor, they aren't anything special Zoya wouldn't be able to reverse engineer once she scans them. So I am not gonna approach him on my own." I said as I looked at the slight shining bulge on his chest.
In fact, the only reason I even invested in Stark Industries was to get access to the Stark expo model that Howard Stark left for Tony, the one that had the structure for 'Badassium' in it. Quite contrary to what most people believed it was not put on display for the public to view at all. Instead, it was kept in the CEO's room as a model that acted as a vision for the company's future. Of course, some extra profits were also one of the reasons for the investment but I actually intended to sell the shares at a high price as soon as Tony declared himself the Ironman giving people the false belief that he would be monetising his reactor and armor designs for profits.
In my opinion, completely acquiring Hammer Industries as an arms-developing business once it became bankrupt in the future would be much better in the long term.
"It seems he is coming here. I think he might have heard about Meta Enterprises buying up his shares at a low price. So maybe he is coming here to talk about that." Selene said as she looked at Tony Stark and Pepper Potts walking in their direction.
"Nah, I think he just wants to admire your beauty since he has no idea who I am or that you are still connected with Meta Enterprises. As far as he knows, Emma Frost is the chairwoman of the conglomerate." I smile as I put my hands on Selene's lower back, discreetly rubbing her juicy ass which didn't startle her at all since she just continued to stand there without changing her facial expressions even though I could feel her getting excited at my touch as evident with her getting wet between her legs.
"Ms. Gallio, it's a pleasure to at last meet you. I am Tony Stark as you are already probably aware of and this is my secretary Virginia Potts. It is a pleasant surprise to see you here, I thought you were quite busy after New Genosha was inducted into the United Nations since you are one of its oldest consulate members and all. But still thank you for coming to my welcome back party." Tony spoke up first as he approached us and tried to take Selene's hand to kiss which she very coldly denied by moving away her hand before Stark could even touch it.
"Thank you, Mr. Stark. And congratulations to you too by the way for escaping from your captors. It's good to see that you are still healthy even after one month of continuous torture by them." Selene smiled professionally as she replied.
"I am a pretty strong man. No amount of torture could possibly break my will." He laughed proudly as his eyes landed on Pepper whose eyes were completely fixed on me with a slight blush on her cheeks.
"Huh? I didn't notice you there. May I ask who you are Mr...?" He asked curiously, probably a little annoyed due to how Pepper was staring at me and how inhumanly charming I looked from a human's perspective.
"Adam Giotem, I am Selene's sugar baby. A pleasure to meet you." I answered with the most serious face I could muster.
